STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Republican Congressional hopeful Michael Grimm has been buoyed by the support of voters as he works the final hours of the campaign trail.

"He is doing great," said Grimm spokesman Steven Stites. "He said the campaign is one of the most amazing experiences of his life. He loved every minute of it, well not every minute, but most of them. He has been talking to folks from Staten Island and Brooklyn all day and he can't wait to see the results."

Grimm voted early this morning at PS 69 in New Springville. He also greeted supporters with former Borough President Guy V. Molinari.

Tonight at 5, he will be greeting commuters at the Whitehall Ferry Terminal in Manhattan with former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

"The reaction has been overwhelming positive," Stites said. "People are walking up to him and saying 'you're the guy who will fight to lower our taxes, you're the guy who is going to get our country back on track.' He is trying to keep it going right up to when the polls close."
